Hearing Kizaru say this, Kuro was taken aback. "Vergo?"
Who is this person again?
I think I mentioned it before, but I seem to have forgotten...
Kuro's memories aren't omnipotent. After all, having lived here for so long, who the hell would review the plot every day? And no one has the means to do so.
Anyone who stays in an unfamiliar place for more than 20 years will forget some things.
It's like a person in their twenties who can never remember all their elementary school classmates.
Even after Kuro entered Headquarters, he came into contact with admirals, Yonko, and various important figures, some of whom he couldn't even remember.
"Code name 'Demon Bamboo,' Vice Admiral Vergo, commander of G-5 branch base, is considered a very good naval officer within the Navy."
Kizaru said, "However, we've recently uncovered some things that have raised some suspicions. You need to investigate them. The Navy can't spare anyone for the time being, and it wouldn't be appropriate for Mr. Garp or Mr. Sengoku to go. After thinking it over, you, who haven't taken up your post yet, are the most suitable."
"I understand, then I'll go."
Kuro, with a cigar in his mouth, said, "I'll investigate slowly, old man. Don't rush me, or I won't be able to deduce the truth."
"Well, that's your business, Kuro. Just remember to tell headquarters what kind of flagship you want to customize. That's all," Kizaru said with a smile.
"Alright, you can rest now."
Kuro picked up his teacup, drank the tea in one gulp, and then spat out, "I still don't really like drinking tea."
"Oh~ You'll like it when you get older."
"Let's talk about that when I'm older. Also, Grandpa, where's your cigar?"
"It's all prepared for you. It's in the logistics department. Just go and get it yourself."
"Alright, I'll be going now."
Kuro waved his hand, turned around, and walked out.
Although he was a candidate for general and could request special supplies, his share was one, and the old man's share was another. Wouldn't it be better to have two?
He left the office and walked out of the main base gate, where only Lida was waiting for him.
"Where are the others?" Kuro asked, glancing around.
“They’re still giving their performance reviews. Hey, Kuro, let’s go for a walk,” Lida said.
"I'm busy right now. Call Crow and come with me to G-5. The rest of you stay at headquarters and wait for orders. Also, tell Wilbur that I need to get a vice admiral's flagship..."
"The flagship?"
Lida exclaimed, "Is it a customizable flagship? That's great! Can I choose my favorite design? I want a flagship with a perpetually refillable ice cream cone on the bow."
"Then find a Devil Fruit user who can make ice cream to join the Navy!"
Kuro glared at Lida, annoyed. "Besides, you don't need that kind of flagship. If you want your own flagship, you can talk about it after you become a vice admiral!"
Ice cream...
With such a unique design, are you trying to make me stand out enough?
"Ugh..." Lida's face fell.
"In short, I need an ordinary flagship, nothing too conspicuous, just like a regular warship, with a few extra cannons. Make sure you deliver the message," Kuro said.
"Then where are you going?"
"I'm going to the logistics warehouse to pick up some cigars and, while I'm at it, to get some weapons to send to the vault."
Kuro waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and go. I'll wait for you at the port when you're done."
"oh."
Lida shrugged and turned to walk toward the office where she was supposed to give her presentation.
That place is not on the same route as Kuro's logistics warehouse.
As she walked, she took out a bag of cookies from her backpack and opened her mouth to eat them.
"Hey, did you hear? A really delicious new snack shop opened up in the back."
"Ah! I know that place. I heard it's a limited supply, baked on-site, and they only sell a little bit each day."
"Let's go there later."
"Yes, let's go try it."
Lida's ears twitched as she looked at the two female sailors who were walking by, chatting and laughing.
"Snacks? Limited supply? Delicious?" Lida's eyes widened, and saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth.
She poured the bag of cookies into her mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed it, her eyes beginning to shine.
"I want to go eat!"
She was about to walk towards the two female naval officers.
But she quickly stopped, her little face contorting in a frown:
"But Kuro told me to do something. If I'm a little late, Kuro will be waiting for me there. But if I go too late, what if they're already sold out...?"
"Lida?"
Just then, a voice sounded beside her.
Lida turned her head and her eyes lit up: "Sister Kikyo!"
The people who came over were Kikyo and her companion, Sazir.
"What about me? What about me? Don't I have a name?" Sazir asked from the side.
Lida completely ignored Sazir and said directly:
"Hey, hey, Kuro said you guys can stay at headquarters while we go take care of some things. He also asked me to find Wilbur, but I'm busy right now. Kikyo-neechan, could you go find Wilbur for me? Kuro wants to commission a vice admiral's flagship and have Wilbur oversee it. The specific specifications are..."
"ha!!!"
Just then, a group of training sailors ran by, shouting so loudly that they almost drowned out Lida's voice.
"That's all, I'll be going now."
Lida waved her hand and turned to chase after the two female sailors who had spoken first.
Kikyo paused for a moment, then looked at Sazir: "What did Lida just say?"
Kikyo was startled by the navy's shout and didn't hear it all.
Her hearing wasn't very good to begin with, and although she could hear specific women's words, it had to be clear.
